Dracula - PictureThis

Dracula

Dracula is a captivating orchid genus, primarily known for its unique, strikingly monkey-like flower structures, which inspired its eerie moniker. These orchids thrive in misty, cloud-enveloped forests, hanging from tree branches where their trailing roots absorb moisture directly from the humid air. Dracula exhibits vibrant, often dramatic colorations, with deep maroons and speckles, adapted to attract specific pollinators under the dim forest canopy.

Propagation: Dracula propagation primarily involves division or offset separation, as seed sowing is unpredictable. Key factors for success include high humidity, moderate temperatures, appropriate light, and well-draining orchid mix. Division requires careful separation of offsets with roots, followed by potting in a humid environment, away from direct sunlight.
